“And you don’t want to be sick anymore right?” V asked, gently brushing back Nathaniel’s hair with a gentle hand, taking a deep breath. “My love, I just don’t want you to be sick anymore.” He said, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “If you want to stay here then I won’t force you to go but I honestly think it’ll be beneficial.”
Nathaniel hiccuped weakly and closed his eyes, trembling a bit. "I-I don't wanna go to the doctor… they're… they're bad…" He whispered almost inaudibly.
“They’re not darling, they just want to help you. Mostly. If Jarvis and Urielle’s trusted someone they found would you?” He asked, smoothing down Nathaniel's ruffled wings
"I… I-I dunno…" Nathaniel clung tighter to V, his breathing quick and shallow. "I don't wanna go…"
He sighed softly “Alright, for now we won’t go burn if this does get worse, we’ll-“ he glanced down at Nath when he realsised he wasn’t struggling to breath. He sat up with Nathaniel in his arms and rubbing his back “Love, calm down.” He urged gently
"P-Please… I don't wanna go back there…" Nathaniel whispered weakly, tears stinging his eyes as he tightly gripped V's shirt.
“Alright, Alright you’re not going anywhere darling, I promise. You’re safe darling creature.” He whispered, hugging Nathaniel close and kissing his cheek
Nathaniel hiccuped again and buried his face in V's shoulder. "I don't wanna go back there… p-please don't make me… please…"
“I won’t angel, no ones going to make you do anything, I promise.” He took a deep breath and sighed softly, regretting pushing Nathaniel to go to the doctors. “I’m sorry love, I only wanted for you to get some help. We don’t have to go if you don’t want to, we’ll figure something else out, I promise.”
Nathaniel coughed a bit and nodded, struggling to draw in deep breaths. His wings were puffed up with fear and he was very shaky, not willing to leave V's side.
“I’m right here angel, I’m not leaving you, just breath.” He whispered, smoothing down his feathers and kissing his head, nuzzling his hair and humming softly
Nathaniel nodded again, trying to rub away his tears as he clung to V. "I-I'm so sorry…"
“What for my angel? If anything I’m the one who should be apologizing for pushing you.” He hugged Nathaniel tightly and kissed his shoulder “I just want you to get better that’s all.” He pulled back to look at him, eyes softening.
Nathaniel buried his face in V's shoulder, crying softly. "I'm s-sorry for being s-stupid…"
“No love, you’re not being stupid, I should have known you hate doctors, especially after what happened with your wings.” He hugged Nathaniel and gently rubbed his back.
He glanced up as Urielle peeked into the room. V shook his head, saying that they weren’t ready yet.
Nathaniel curled his wings around himself, shaking violently in V's arms. "B-But I'm an adult now and I should— b-be over it by now…"
V snorted a laugh and shook his head “says who love? We all have our trials and tribulations that ‘we have to get over’ do we ever, most likely not. If you’re not that’s okay, just remember you’re not alone.” He pressed a gentle kiss to Nathaniel’s nose and smiled softly “ya know I’m gonna get sick if I continue kissing you.”
"M'not sick…" Nathaniel insisted weakly, burying his face back in V's shoulder. "And if I was, I probably wouldn't be contagious… you'll probably be fine."
“Right, right, I keep forgetting, forgive me.” He laughed softly, playfully looking at Nathaniel suspiciously “you sure? Or is that just you trying to convince me to kiss you more?”
"I dunno… I'm too delirious to think. Just give me attention, dammit…" Nathaniel yawned a bit and sighed.
V laughed and peppered Nathaniel with kisses “always my angel.” He murmured, nudging his head affectionately. “You don’t mind if I eat do you? While you may not be hungry, I am. Plus Urielle's and Jarvis’ cooking is the best.”
"You can eat if you wanna…" Nathaniel yawned a bit as he returned the nuzzles. "But m'not hungry right now…"
“Alright, we’ll save some for young if you end up wanting some. Wanna come with or do you want to stay here and rest?” He asked, kissing his nose and smiling at him.
"Mmm… I don't want you to leave, but I also don't wanna get up…" Nathaniel sighed softly. "M'tired, love…"
“Rest my angel, I’ll be back soon alright?” He slowly shifted out of the bed and wrapped Nathaniel in blankets. He went to the bathroom and brought back a trash bin just in case Nathaniel wasn’t feeling well. He pressed a kiss to husband brow and went to have dinner with Urielle’s and Jarvis
